Introduction to BitMEX Exchange
BitMEX was founded in 2014 and is one of the earliest digital asset exchanges in the industry to provide contract trading functions. Its contract trading has high liquidity and has not been attacked by hackers since its establishment. In addition, BitMEX's simulated trading function is very suitable for novices to use when learning. However, BitMEX's spot trading developed relatively late, and its current depth is average, and there are not many tradable currencies.
